Default Seattle Restaurant Serves Up Obesity Waiver

Viewing lawyers that way is fine. Until you need one. Every profession
has some who are not exemplary examples of rectitude but dont fall for
urban legends of uniform abuse. I'd rather tolerate a rogue lawyer
rather than the rogue president we suffer under.

Order a signature dessert at the 5 Spot eatery in Seattle, and you'll


have

to sign a liability waiver first.

The semi-serious gimmick applies to "a sugar-coated, deep-fried,
ice-cream-swaddled, caramel-drizzled, whipped-cream-anointed banana"


called

The Bulge, reports the Washington Post.

Before you can take your first bite of the fattening fare, you have to


sign

a waiver that states, "I will not impose any sort of obesity-related
lawsuit against the 5 Spot or consider any similar type of frivolous
legislation created by a hungry trial lawyer."

5 Spot co-owner Peter Levy says the creation stemmed from anger at trial
attorneys who want to make restaurants accountable for their patrons'
eating habits. "We came up with the most fattening and delicious dessert


we

could think of," he tells the Post.
